Lisa's POV

I woke up and felt genuinely awful. It was much better when I was asleep, when I could feel anything. Right now, I could slowly feel it creeping on me, the chest crushing realization that Jennie wasn't with me anymore. Reality hit me harder everytime. It was like a reverse nightmare when the nightmare was actually waking up to reality.

I closed my eyes again to try to get back to sleep. I didn't know how long I layed there, all I knew was that it felt like forever. I didn't want to get up but the silence made me feel more and more alone, it was deafening and the loneliness was enough to drive a person mad. I needed to do something. Maybe go out for a walk or run a few miles. I forced myself to get out of the bed. I could feel the nothingness washing over me like a wave. The stress, the sadness, the anger, they were things weighing heavy on me that threaten to break me if I let them.

Being without her was like missing a piece of myself and all that's left in its place was a painful and aching emptiness. I missed waking up to her kisses, I crave her lips on mine. I thought of how we used to spend our mornings. How we'd lay together, wrapped up into each other. It was like I didn't have purpose anymore, she as my reason for so many things and now she wasn't here anymore. I wished this nightmare was happening to someone else. I wished everything could go back to the way it was.

I took a quick shower and dragged myself out of the room after putting on my clothes. I decided I would go for a run to distract myself from my thoughts. Just as I got out of my room. I heart the pan sizzling from the kitchen. My heart suddenly skipped with hope. I was hoping I would see Jennie cooking our breakfast. Maybe she came back because she had already forgiven me.

I ran to the kitchen as fast as I could and my feet stopped when I saw who was there. I stood there for a moment, trying to take in what I just saw. Yubi was setting up the table with the food she made. She had a plate in her hand was making her way to the table when she saw me, she stopped and smiled.

"Good morning." She greeted.

I gritted my teeth. I stayed speechless and motionless. Jennie is the one who only do that. It made me angry to see that someone else was doing what Jennie does for me. I never want to see any woman doing what Jennie used to do I never remember Yubi making breakfast when we were still together.

"I searched for the ingredients in your kitchen. I made some omelette and bacon." She said putting the plate over the table. " Let's eat. "

I took bit, quick steps towards her and grabbed her by the arm.

"Are you not going to stop hitting on me?" My voice boomed throughout the room. "Wasn't everything you did enough?"

"Lisa, you're hurting me." She squeezed, trying to snatch her arm from my grasp. I had never hurt a woman physically but I felt like I was close to doing so.

"Aren't you happy for what you did? Aren't you happy for ruining our relationship? Do you really enjoy making my life miserable that much? " My fingers dug into her arm.

" I'm not willing to give you up if that's what you want or let you get away. I have the rights here because we're married. I'm your wife! " She yelled.

" I want nothing more than to get out of this marriage and away from you. "

" Let's give this marriage another shot please, Lisa. Let me be with you, let me show you how much I love you. " She begged desperately. "I've learned from my mistake. I promise I'd be the best wife to you."

I shook my head." Get out of here! " I dragged her by the arm to the door. She's trying to get out from me and finally freed herself from my grip.
